Easy
- 15ml olive oil
- 375g carrots, roughly chopped
- 1 medium onion, roughly chopped
- 1 clove garlic, smashed
- 2 tsps finely grated orange zest
- 2 tsps dried oregano
- 60ml white wine
- 375ml chicken or vegetable stock
- 375ml water
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsps light sour cream, divided
1) In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the carrots and the onion and sweat until the mixture starts to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, orange zest and oregano and cook until fragrant, another 1 to 2 minutes.
2) Raise the heat and deglaze the pan with white wine. Add the stock and water. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook until the carrots are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
3) Cool the mixture for about 5 minutes before processing.
4) Process the soup in a food processor or blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
5) Pour into serving bowls and swirl in a heaped teaspoon of soured cream before serving.
